We spend most of our school day in our room. It's where we dig into our main subjects (reading, writing, math, social/emotional wellbeing, social studies, and science) and generally serves as our home at school. We are proud of our classroom and work hard to keep it looking fly. Right now we have a gnarly, old carpet that is full of stains and duct tape residue; it fits about half our class and requires an atrocious amount of criss-cross-apple-saucing. It has spent the last few years rolled up in a storage closet, and by all accounts seems ready for carpet heaven. A new rug will really change the set-up of our classroom, and make it much simpler for us to do work somewhere other than our desks. This new rug will create a more pleasant and productive learning environment, and make floor time much cozier. In an elementary school classroom, the carpet is everybody's meeting place. We are psyched to have somewhere that helps each of us feel even more eager to learn and work together!
